Three steps to your first screenshot
- Run the installer. It installs for your Windows user only, so it never asks for administrator rights, and it opens Screen Slinger when it finishes. If Windows shows a “Windows protected your PC” notice, click More info, then Run anyway. The installer is digitally signed; Windows shows that notice for programs it has not seen often yet.
- Press Print Screen, or click Capture. Drag over any part of the screen. As you hover, Screen Slinger suggests the window, panel or table under the cursor, so one click often does it. For a long page, choose the scrolling capture and Screen Slinger scrolls it for you.
- Mark it up and send it. Arrows, numbered steps, callouts and blur that really replaces the pixels. Copy puts the finished image on the clipboard, ready to paste into an e-mail, a chat or a ticket.
Print Screen opens the Snipping Tool instead?
Windows 11 keeps that key for its own tool unless you tell it otherwise. Open Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard and turn off “Use the Print screen key to open Snipping Tool” (older versions say “…to open screen capture”). Or keep the Snipping Tool on Print Screen and choose another shortcut in Screen Slinger’s settings (the gear icon).
One setting worth ticking
The capture shortcut works only while Screen Slinger is running. In its settings, tick Start Screen Slinger when Windows starts and the shortcut is always there.
